Tee areas: Pads are long, wide, flat, coarse concrete, and not flush-to-ground. Signs shows both baskets and distances, and direction to next tee.

Navigation: Map at course, direction at teesigns, and obvious path from basket to typically-nearby, but not too-close, next tee. Two 9-hole loops, and overall small footprint, means one is never far from one's vehicle.

Topography: Despite steadily-but-slightly-sloping ground from parking lot to back of course, it was quite muddy after not too much rain. The lack of undergrowth likely contributed to this.

About 1/3rd of the holes have the closer (blue) basket on a reasonable flightpath to the farther (white) basket, so there are definitely brown-ace possibilities.

Hanson Park is massive, but the course is set upon a small, wooded parcel, near, but not too close, to a dog park. The woods are not sparse, nor dense, close enough together to create optimal lanes and/or windows, but not so dense that re-directed shots are severely punished. You'll always have trees to avoid, but no thickets to be trapped behind/in.

The course has the slightest slope away from the parking lot, but elevation changes is negligible on most holes. You'll have a variety of left-, right-, and S-shaped shots to make, but none extreme.

The Front-9, which is much damper than the back, is also much shorter, averaging about 200/300', while the Back-9 is around 250/330'. For a player with a good control game, the should be a bevy of birds available playing to the shorts (blue baskets).

Solid, short, wooded course to practice one's control game.
